What is your suggestion on e-filing I-140?

For someone not residing in the US, do you know if it is better to do electronic filing of I-140 or normal filing at the Consulate (Consular processing)? Is there a difference between the two in terms of processing speeds, outlook and potential results? Thanks

Answer:

Since self-petition i-140 requires significant evidence, even if you file the i-140 online, you would still have to mail the supporting evidence via normal snail mail. The main advantage of efiling is you get a early filing date (by a few days to a week). Most applicants prefer just regular mail due to this reason.

However there is no significant difference in speed/outcome from the two approaches.

Can you guide me further for eb1a?

No job offer is required for EB1A. I can answer your questions in this thread. The EB1A criteria are explained here and in the free e-book. A more detailed information on what constitutes each particular evidence can be understood from the USCIS RFE template. If you feel you can satisfy these criteria then you can build a strong case using our do-it-yourself packets.
